Halloween Basket | Halloween 2022


Every year I create a little treat basket for Halloween mainly containing bits to keep them occupied over the Half term. It get the kids excited and always puts a smile on there faces. I wanted to share what I have got this year for the girls in hope that it might give someone so ideas for there little ones if they want to create one. 


First we love a good good book and this year we have two, I purchased one and the other was a gift from my Dad and Angie. This years book choices are Peppa's Magical Halloween and Spinderella.

The next couple of bits are a create your own which I love to get for the kids, I did leave it a little late this year so had to shop around. The little cat tea light is from Poundland and the decorate you own mug was from The Works. I love getting these out every year and it's nice to add to our collections.

I then picked up a Halloween ghost poppet for Lils and a bat light up toy for Olivia from Poundland as a little treat. Lastly I have a box of decorate your own gingerbread pumpkins from the Co-op, the kit includes icing and sprinkles too.

I really do hope that you enjoyed seeing what we have got the girls and would love to know if you do this too.

    I actually LOVE this idea! It's so simple but such a good way to make sure the kids have things to keep them occupied. This is especially great when you work from home.. I'm definitely doing this for the next half term!

Macaroni Cheese | Recipe and Method

I do love a pasta dish and macaroni cheese is such a comfort food for me, its so easy and simple to make, perfect for a busy evening taking only 15-20 minutes to make.

Ingredients: - 450g Pasta - 1 litre of milk - 100g flour or corn flour - 100g marge - 280g cheese - 1 tea spoon English mustard - salt and pepper for seasoning How to: 1.

My mental health

 I don't really know why I am writing this but it may help me or someone else in the future, today I am low, very low, I feel very stuck in a rubbish situation and don't see it ever getting better. At the moment money is tight, very tight and it really is getting me down, I feel like I am letting everyone down. I want to be the best person I can be and the best Mum possible to my girls, I want to be able to provide a good life for them and don't want them to even know that we are ever struggling. I suffer from anxiety but this doesn't feel anything like that, this feels like a have got a weight in my heart, one that feels painful too, its like a constant sinking feeling that drains me too. I am tired and emotional and just had enough and I really don't know what to do or how to even take the next step. I really hope that one day soon we don't have to worry so much, that we can live a little more comfortable and that life gives us some luck as the pas

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the passa
